Quick Strikes: Lightning reduces roster, gets shut out again

It’s just the preseason, but the Tampa Bay Lightning are two games in to their warm-up season and have yet to score a goal through two games. They lost 3-0 at home to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday before losing 2-0 on the road to the same Jerks. [NHL dot com]

Penalties continue to be an issue for the Lightning to start this preseason. A night after taking six minor penalties to the ire of head coach Jon Cooper, the Bolts were sent to the box five times Wednesday, although the penalty kill was a perfect 5-for-5 and improved to 10-for-11 this preseason.
